  <!-- Short Intro -->
  <p style="max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; line-height: 1.6; color: #555;">
    I am an applied scientist and computational neuroscience postdoctoral research fellow at
    <a href="https://corticallabs.com/" style="color: #0078D7;">Cortical Labs</a>. Our work focuses on creating biological intelligence
    by fusing living brain cells with computing devices.

  <p>
    Currently, I am a full-time applied scientist and computational neuroscience postdoctoral research fellow at
    <a href="https://corticallabs.com/">Cortical Labs</a>. We are a start-up company that has created DishBrain,
    which fuses living brain cells onto computing devices to create machines with biological intelligence. Our in-vitro
    neuronal cultures can learn to play the game of 'Pong'!
  </p>

  <p>
    I am an organizing program chair for the <a href="https://neuroai-workshop.github.io/organizers/">NeuroAI Workshop @ NeurIPS 2024</a>, fostering
    collaboration between neuroscience and AI to drive innovative solutions.
